One thing about F5 (Bar Settings) that is really a plus is the "ALL INSTRUMENTS" option. Which, before utility tracks, would allow you to perform a function on all tracks in one place with one step. Although, that function doesn't affect the utility tracks.

Also, the "MASTER TRACK" in the mixer allows you to make volume automation changes, but they don't do anything. Would be great feature if implemented.

I'm a fan of bar settings for all channels, although volume automation is a very nice feature.
